Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Idaho Admin Code 24.31.01.100.01 requires applicants to furnish proof of graduation from a program in dentistry accredited by CODA at the time of the applicant's graduation; Idaho Statute 54-915(2) requires a DDS/DMD from a board-accepted/approved dental school. A foreign (non-CODA) graduate must complete a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD (advanced-standing) program. No CODA-residency-in-lieu-of-degree pathway for general licensure.
Written: iNBDE (or NBDHE for hygiene) per IDAPA 24.31.01.100.02. Clinical: board-approved clinical exam (ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, CRDTS+SRTA); post-04/01/2022 exams must include operative, periodontal, simulated endodontic and prosthodontic sections plus a written competency exam. Plus Idaho jurisprudence exam (75%+). Clinical results valid 5 years. WREB retired Dec 31 2022.
License by credentials (54-916B) also requires CODA graduation.
No residency-only substitute for the required dental degree was isolated in this sourced state record.
Specialty licensure separately requires a CODA-accredited postdoctoral advanced dental education program of 2+ full-time academic years AFTER a CODA DDS/DMD — this is not a substitute for the CODA dental degree for general licensure. License by credentials (54-916B) also requires CODA graduation.
